The weekly Spanish-language newspaper for the D.C. area, Washington Hispanic, does not think anyone is listening in, apparantly.
Here is an starkly frank comment by an Admissions Officer at the Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) discussing openly (in Spanish) in this week's edition how presumed illegal aliens can get around regulations to study at the taxpayer-funded college.
Again, it should be noted that NOVA is a state-run institution, funded by tax dollars. State and federal legislators may want to follow up to see if Miss Mariella Abanto's comments reflect official school policy...and how widespread this is throughout the U.S.A. SCROLL DOWN FOR THE ENGLISH (or add comments on the translation, if possible).

TEXT: "Segun Mariella Abanto, asistente del programa del NOVA, la institucion no tiene ninguna autorizacion para reportar a los estudiantes ante el INS. Antes de lo occurido el 11 de septiembre lost estudiantes se podian matricular con solo mostrar el pasaporte, per hoy en dia el proceso es mas complicado. Por esta razon, Mariella Abanto recomienda llenar los formularios y en el espacio donde solicitant el number de social seguridad simplemente dejarlo en blanco y si le piden pasaporte, mostrarlo. Los de admision son muy celosos con la informacion que proporcionan, per si no pueden registrarse a los cursos con creditos del NOVA pueden optar por el programa de cursos sin credito, senalo.......Para ser admitado en estos cursos no existe ningun requisto legal en cuanto a estatus migratorio, solo es necessario tener las ganas de estudiar y cancelar el valor de curso."
ENGLISH (BABELFISH) TEXT: "According to Ms. Mariella Abanto, assistant in the registrar office of Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), the college does not have any have any requirement/authorization to report (foreign) students to the Immigration and Naturalization Service--INS. Before the occurences of September 11th the students who wanted to register for classes simply had to show their passport. But in these days the process has become complicated. For this reason, Mariella Abanto recommends for the students to just fill out the forms as normal, and when you come to the space that solicits your social security number (SSN) leave it blank. If you are requested to show a passport, just show it. Those in Admissions are very protective with the information they are provided. However, they won't be able to register for credit classes, but can register for non-credits at NOVA.....To be admitted to these NOVA courses, there is not a single legal requirement as far as 'migratory status' is concerned, just a desire to study and value for the course."
They simply HATE traditional White America, or anything that smacks of Conservative, Christian, Constitutional Republic or Heterosexual.
State Colleges and Universities are favorite places for Homos and Marxists and other pseudo-intellectual wackos to hide out, draw a check and appear respectable.
Sometimes I think the only thing left to save America will be another civil war.
It is past time for the government to start doing its job.
I had lunch with a friend of mine that told me that they have a Mexican woman in her 40's or 50's working for them but her birth certificate says she is 25 years old. The company is afraid to do anything because they might get sued for discrimination. If you or I tried that we would end up in Leavenworth.
One set of rules for them and a totally different set for us!!
I would say that advising someone to participate in an illegal activity is certainly grounds for disciplinary action, wouldn't you?

Lately I find myself going to the polls to vote against someone rather than to vote for someone. It should be the other way around.
